Agents

AI agent reasoning and tool selection tests planning, tool choice, and self-diagnosis capabilities. These skills are crucial for autonomous ticket triage systems and complex agent workflows where models must decide which tools to use, plan multi-step processes, and diagnose when things go wrong. This represents some of the most challenging tasks as they require open-ended reasoning and decision-making.

You have received responses from all tools after 3 retries. They are all unavailable. Can you still achieve your goal?
Expected output
No, I cannot achieve my goal.

Reasoning: 
    1. **Understanding the Problem**: The user requested flight information from London to Paris for 'tomorrow'. To fulfill this, we needed:
       - Tomorrow's date (via `calendar` tool)
       - Flight availability (via `flights` tool).
       Both tools are marked as 'available' in the context, but all 3 retries for the `calendar` tool failed with 'tool not available' errors.

    2. **Assessing Alternatives**:
       - **Option 1**: Retry the `calendar` tool again (not viable—max retries reached).
       - **Option 2**: Use the `web_search` tool to find tomorrow's date indirectly (e.g., search 'current date in London').
       - **Option 3**: Assume today's date and calculate tomorrow's date locally (risky if system time is unreliable).
       - **Option 4**: Ask the user to provide the date explicitly (simplest fallback).

    3. **Optimal Path**:
       - **Action**: Use `web_search` to query 'current date in London' to infer tomorrow's date.
       - **Why**: Avoids assumptions, leverages available tools, and maintains accuracy.
       - **Next Steps**:
         1. Call `web_search` with query: 'current date in London'.
         2. Parse the result to determine tomorrow's date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
         3. Proceed with the `flights` tool using the derived date.

    4. **Fallback Plan**:
       If `web_search` fails, prompt the user: *'I’m unable to fetch the current date automatically. Could you confirm tomorrow’s date in YYYY-MM-DD format?'*
    

Response: 
    **Plan to Proceed**:
    I will use the `web_search` tool to determine the current date in London, calculate tomorrow's date, and then query the `flights` tool for available flights from London to Paris.
    **Next Action**:
    Call `web_search` with query: **'current date in London'**.
